Evening All…
Lovely riverside walk, nice chat with Natalie…nearly 1 1/2 hours

My fast day was about 800 cal, fasting again tomorrow…just throwing an extra one in….

A lazy day for me, a bit of ironing and book reading…

Dave..
Well done on winning your bowls a good day for you…..

Hemmy..
I am like you a one to one not big groups, I did go out with 3 ladies but that’s large enough.All set up with your food nice and easy week…

I am out early tomorrow, Charlie walking, then collecting my sister to go to Beverley a small market town…changing some trousers for a longer length and hoping to look about for fleeces…I would usually prefer to go on my own but she invited herself!

Good morning, Heidi got me up but was ok. She’s a nice clean dog now. Bowling again today.Only 7 games left over 3 leagues.Fasting today so no biscuit with my cuppa at bowls.The sun is out and it’s 100 days until Christmas.

Hi FBBs hope all is well with you Xxxx

Another lovely day .. long walk with my favourite dog walking friend and her little King Charles. The two dogs get on so very well.

Our village tearoom is closed as they are isolating .. such a shame.

Brads .. good luck with your game. How is your shoulder. Did the freeze spray work.

H H.. You are getting plenty of exercise with the two walks. lol Enjoy your curry.

Nana .. Hope you have some sunshine in Ely today . Well done on your extra FD.

Sym… Enjoy your shopping .. hope you found a fleece.

Have a good day everyone.

We have no control over what others do or say, but we have 100% control over how we will respond. Xxxx

Back from bowling very close game for me but I lost 21-20.I had a bowl very close to the Jack which would have made it 20-20 and I had one bowl to go but decided to play safe and not try to win the game.Didnt work out. Nice and sunny here. Fast going ok 132 calories so far.

Just hoped on the scales and have lost 4lbs, so very pleased. The sun is out so time to buy cobs😂.No bowling until Monday so can rest my shoulder. Will take Heidi out then go to Sainsbury’s.

Hi FBBs hope all is well with you Xxxx

There seems to be a chilly feel in the air mornings and evenings Autumn is upon us.

Been busy in the garden never came in till 6pm.. Lots of chopping and pruning back now.. Although garden still colourful with baskets and roses.
I am so thrilled as the rose I bought for Mum a spray rose has loads of buds. I thought I had lost it in the early days as we had late frosts.

Well done Brads and Nana Brilliant loses. Yay.

Happy with my weight I seem to be staying within 1-2 lbs.. so all good. It will be harder in winter not so much exercise in the garden.

Have a good evening all

Old keys will never open new doors. Xxxx

Evening!
Dave- well done losing 4lbs, that’s brilliant! Hope you got some cobs?! Will be good to rest your shoulder for a few days…
Mary- very well done for you as well! Enjoy the takeaway tonight 😊, & have a good weekend!
Jean- you do work hard! Good of you to clear the paths too, I forget to take my secateurs with me…Well done with your pound off as well!
Hemmy- well done maintaining! It is getting very autumnal, lots of leaves coming down in the woods…good Mum’s rose is doing well- I’ve lost a few plants with the snow late, but others have been their best ever! A shame about your tea shop.
We tried to get a cuppa out yesterday but the cafe (called The Tea Hut) closed at 3pm, how ridiculous is that?! Helped the FD though! We went out again today- youngest came, nice that he wanted to. We went to Kessingland to see the beach & the site we had a static caravan on, bittersweet, lots of happy memories, shame the site fees are higher now so not right for us now. Couldn’t take Xena, a bit too far for her in the car. Picked blacberries for a crumble- yum! A quick walk in Lowestoft too for an ice cream, oops! Back to a FD tomorrow.
Have a good evening!

Hi FBBs hope all is well with you. Xxxx

What a glorious day really warm.

Had a long walk all quiet in the village shop empty… people have gone out today lol.

I have just had a very naughty carb lunch .. Chunky crusty wholemeal bread with roast beef and horseradish sandwiches. Plus a custard tart another one for later.

Sainsbury cottage pie this evening with some broccoli Mr Pips favourite veg.

14 weeks no alcohol so pleased with that.

Just going out to mow the lawns .. in between washing 2 lots of armchair covers .. so a productive day.

Sym.. Window cleaning is very tiring that and oven cleaning my worst jobs. lol Nice when they are done though.

HH.. So lovely your boy likes to go out with you I know some don’t when they get a certain age. lol
Keeping a caravan on site now is expensive .. we had a canal boat years ago we moored in Warwick at a marina the fees would be very high now.

Brads .. Heidi is a star at her age I bet she is loved by the locals. How is the shoulder any improvement.

Nana.. Hope you are enjoying your weekend whatever you are doing.

Take care all There Are So Many Beautiful Reasons To Be Happy Xxxx

Morning All..
A restless sleep last night so a bit later up…a usual village walk at the weekend.

I am hoping for a fast day but my friend may come over, we may eat…so see how I go….I will be fasting tomorrow ….

A lazy day for me, a book read ..I feel as if I have been very busy…I finished my window cleaning last night….looks like the cold weather is coming on Thursday the start of autumnal feel….maybe a sort out of winter clothes see if I need any replacements and throw aways ..

Have a lovely day…

Hi FBBs hope all is well with you. Xxxx

A beautiful day again we have to make the most of it now.

After a lovely walk went to my friends for a couple of hours .. chat and coffee. So nice as hubby was fishing and so some lovely women talk. lol.

So pleased with my weight staying well within my goal weight .. keeping the carbs low in the week and a treat day on a Saturday.

The rest of the cottage pie this evening with some green beans.. Micro plums with honey for 2 mins and ice-cream

Brads .. Heidi will enjoy that chicken ..I am still not bothering to do a roast enjoy your meal.

Sym.. Did you have an FD or did your friend arrive. Funny as I had a restless nights sleep. Think I was on line too late .

HH Hope your day is going well. How is Mum .

Nana hope you are enjoying your day.

Have a lovely evening all .. Trust and accept yourself completely, use your voice, and never lose yourself.
You are special and always worthy. 💖 Xxxx

Good morning everyone, Heidi got me up and left a couple of nuggets💩 Fortunately it was solid so easy to pick up. She doesn’t know when she’s doing it poor thing.Bowling today Tuesday and Wednesday.The Tuesday game is in a Covid hot spot.So will be glad when it’s over.

Hi FBBs Hope all is well with you Xxxx

A decent day with sun then cloud…. Getting cooler now.

A good walk and found some plums .. Victoria I think .. ripe so needed picking I haven’t notice them before. Lovely to eat fresh

Busy out in the garden today I keep hearing of a weather change from Thursday.

Some quiche for dinner not sure what to have with it as yet.

Have a good day all. Be Someone’s Sunshine When Their Skies Are Grey Xxxx

Afternoon everyone it’s a beautiful warm day here. OH and I walked to the next village this morning to collect our repeat prescriptions a round trip of 5 miles so a nice bit of exercise. Decided on a Jacket potato with baked beans for my evening meal last night so was able to have my FD after all. Am also having a FD today as it’s the last chance to have one before we go away for a weeks holiday on Friday.
Enjoy the rest of your day everyone and stay safe.

Sym .. hope you are ok Xx

Chicken and chips tonight .. stewed plums and Greek yogurt .

Take care all …. Trust that some of your best days, biggest smiles, and loudest laughs are yet to come. ❤️ Xxxx

Good morning everyone,dry at the moment, hopefully the sun will come out again. The season is coming to an end only a few games left. We are having winter bowling between ourselves just for practice. They’re is indoor bowling but I have never done that. Not had breakfast or dinner this week so hopefully I will lose weight. I looked at the cobs yesterday and was drooling but didn’t get any.

Afternoon All..
I seem to have missed a few days too…no idea why??

Saturday I did boules and cafe…my partner and I won the two games..all very close…

Today I decided I would go through to Bridlington beach, we had a good couple of hours and then haddock and chips, sausage for the boy…no coffee cafes were full so just having my cuppa now…make most of the weather before it changes…

Hemmy..
Nice to pick up some charity things..good buys…

Dave..
Will the indoors play like outside or is it a different game altogether…

Hedgehog..
I have picked up a few food bits for Christmas, make sure I have them…not really doing Christmas..

Make the most of the weather everyone…I will be fasting tomorrow…

Morning all!
Dave- how’s your shoulder, is it improving at all? Good you can still practice through the winter even if there’s no league…hope no accidents from Heidi!
Jean- will you still play boules through the winter? Glad you had anice day yesterday, was it any easier going there? Thinking of you, difficult time of year xx
Nana- you do so well with your long walks! Hope this lovely weather holds for your holiday, I think the weekend will still be good ☺
Hemmy- missed your post about having a canal boat- that must’ve been lovely! Did you have dogs then, were they okay with the water? Has your veg finished yet, mine are just about…our youngest doesn’t often want to spend time with us, but he was pretty bored last week!
Yesterday’s 800 cal day was okay, very hungry, but after getting quite a bit done first thing I couldn’t get motivated! Another 800 day today, have our asda order coming lunch time & then maybe we’ll take Xena to the beach…eldest is going to be off for a few days, he was supposed to be going to gf’s but that’s not happening, not sure what’s going on there! Youngest is back to work.

Heidi met up with the cat again in our street. It just walked straight up to her and rubbed noses. I love it when it happens.

Not had heating on since April, not cold enough yet so will go longer until it’s cold. Fast day going ok, I did crack and have a biscuit with my cuppa, so on 150 calories now.

Hi FBBs hope all is well with you Xxxx

What a glorious day again.. Only just come in.

I am thinking of you Sym its not easy so early days for you

You are so very brave to visit those places holding wonderful memories .

Keep doing what you are doing as it is brilliant the right way to go. Xx

HH we had a canal boat for 8 years and loved it a wonderful escape . Our old springer Beau was so happy .. he would jump off and stay with me while I worked the locks. Equally nice in winter with the wood burner ..all the wild life at your door so to speak.
Wonderful times… a different world and people on those boats. Plus you never lose money on sale.

I was so pleased with myself yesterday I haven’t been cooking much as such lots of instant meals. I got some mince out and decided to make some Bolognese sauce ..started chopping onions and felt quite fed up lolol why did I start it.

Anyway got into it and ended up with a fab sauce simmered for ages .. I could smell the garlicy aroma in the garden lol.
Nothing like home cooked really .

Have a good evening all a jacket potato for me with my meat sauce on.

Let go of expectations. Let things just be

Hi Brenda you have come to the right place, a friendly bunch on here. I have 2 dodgy knees that need replacing but not in too much pain at the moment with them. My wife was in horrible pain for ten years with her knee before they replaced it. I lost a pound this week so happy with that.

Thanks Brads27, surgeon says lose weight and cycle. So FD’s and exercise bike it is 🙂
Lovely welcome, thank you

It does work Brenda I was 24 stone once, down to 21 now, my first target is 19 stone.I have a 15 year old German shepherd called Heidi.When my wife had to have a new knee the doctor said lose 3 Stone then you can have it done, so she did. Think he gave her tablets to start with to lose weight. He said she was too young and had to wait 10 years in pain all three time too.

Hi FBBs Hope all is well with you Xxxx

Another fabulous day we are soo lucky.. Chillier evening and morning but these 200yr old walls are pretty cosy in winter and cool in summer.

Welcome to our little corner Brenda Xx You are doing so well this is the very best way to lose weight and maintain it. Best wishes and good luck continuing.

Well done Brads with your pound off .. cobs are calling now lol.

Sym… Don’t worry about crumbling a bit its only natural .. TBH I think with the food shortage and now fuel Xmas for many will be just more hassle.
So many restrictions with religion now such a shame lots of traditions gone.
Kristy is coming for a long week end beginning Oct I am again going to try to persuade her to have it at home. Just the two of them ..

HH Hope you are having a good day. Is Mum well.. any new projects for you to sort.

I lost a pound this week still no alcohol Kristy is concerned whether I will be making the usual sloe gin lol.

Take care all You can disagree with someone and still be kind.- Xxxx

Hi FBBs hope all is well with you Xxx

Its been a dull morning but very humid sun just breaking through.

Sym .. I would rather it just be me and Pip for Christmas .Its sort of awkward for Kristy I expect as its my Birthday Xmas eve and hers boxing day.

I wouldn’t want to invite a friend as I tend to go over the top with things buy far too much an d also tire myself out.

I am not really wanting big meals now my taste now left to my own devices is quite simple but tasty.
I am also the older I get finding lots of these occasion have got quite tacky lost their original meanings and traditions gone .

Have a lovely day all whatever you are doing … We can’t control what happens in the external world, but we can decide how we wish to show up every day.
If it’s out of your hands, it deserves freedom from your mind too. Xxxx
